APPROVED April 2, 2018 <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />- Playground structure improvement estimates run from $70,000 to $85,000; There is <br />$62,000 currently within the dedication fund budget available for Birch Park; <br /> <br />Park Board Comments: <br />- Chair noted discussion with City Council urging them to proceed on two playground <br />structures to get them going this year; <br />- The Recreation Complex and Country Lakes Estates Park were brought up by the <br />council; <br />- Residents have spoken for Marshan Park improvements and trail connectivity; <br />- Shouldn’t Anoka County help with improving Lake Drive trails/crossings; would <br />improve access to many amenities on the west; <br />- Recognition/memorial for long term Park Board Member Pam Taschuk as part of a <br />park structure in her former neighborhood; <br />- Priority for parks that fill larger community needs (Birch, Sunrise and Lino Parks <br />noted); <br />- There are strong needs to maintain facilities (fields, etc.) for programming; <br />- Lino Lakes Elementary crosswalk change (was requested by school district; city <br />expressed concern); <br />- On paving a hockey rink, perhaps a partnership with Centennial Hockey would be <br />appropriate; a multi-use for that would make the expense more sensible; <br />- Addition of amenities such as work out facilities along trails; <br />- In order to respond to council questions, what would it cost to get going at Country <br />Lakes Park; what would ball fields at the rec center land cost? <br />- Safety considerations should be part of next discussion and setting priorities. <br /> <br />The Board discussed prioritizing projects with consideration of funding approved for <br />2018. <br />- Trails - lining up as a priority (Marshan & Apollo Drive at this point); more <br />information coming on request from Century Farms North; <br />- Playgrounds – Sunrise, Birch identified; <br />- Hardcourts - multi use and a good way to go; design is needed; balance <br />geographically; estimates requested for different sizes/types, including tennis; <br />- Pavilion – Marshan would be next in line for a structure if that is considered. <br /> <br />8.
